We investigated marinade absorption and physicochemical characteristics of vacuum-aged duck breasts that were halved and individually vacuum-packed for chiller aging at 4°C for 14 d. One half was marinated for 0, 7, or 14 d, while the second half was used as a control. Marinade absorption, cooking loss, cooking yield, texture profile, pH, color, protein solubility, and thiobarbituric acid react...

Absorption cooling technologies converting excess heat and renewable resources to energy have shown progress in recent years. In this study, two 400 kW LiBr solution absorption chiller types with series parallel connected are analyzed over a range of parameter values better understand their applicability for different uses. Thermodynamic models the components were constructed validated. The per...

The high share of buildings in energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission has led researchers to seek techniques reduce this sector. In study, considering a hot arid climate region, the wall’s heat gain was investigated. To demand, three adding PCM, combining absorption chiller with solar system dispersing nanoparticles were used results evaluated transiently. July, addition PCM building's ...

This study discusses the technical, environmental, and economic feasibility of using absorption chillers driven by solar energy and/or natural gas, in selected shopping malls Barranquilla, Caribbean region Colombia. The high irradiation low prices gas cities Colombia are attractive conditions for use chillers. To prove Colombia, water/LiBr 352 kW cooling capacity was investigated considering lo...

The use of solar energy for cooling processes is advantageous reducing the consumption conventional air-conditioning systems and protecting environment. In present work, a solar-powered system with parabolic trough collectors (PTC) phase change material (PCM) tank numerically investigated in arid climates Saudi Arabia. contains 160-kW double-effect absorption chiller powered by solar-heated pre...
